James Quin
James Quin graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a BA in Fine Art and an MA from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. James is currently associate lecturer at Leeds College of Art and Design.
Quin views the world through the filter of ‘unheimlich’, a world where the conventions of linear time and the stasis of place are supplanted by a world of conspiracy, paranoia and sense of dislocation. Quin’s drawing and paintings describe a world peopled by the displaced, contained within a familiar, yet alternate landscape of colliding timelines.
Quin was nominated for the Northern Art Prize 2010 and was awarded the people’s choice award in the Liverpool Art Prize 2010, he has exhibited nationally and internationally.
